No, despite its higher price point of $327, the Radeon RX 6500 XT proves disappointing when purchased new. For a similar price, Radeon RX 5700 XT has 89.2% better 3DMark score compared to Radeon RX 6500 XT.
In the used market, the Radeon RX 6500 XT fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti which outperforms it by a lead of 37.6% in 3DMark benchmark.
Recommended PSU for the RX 6500 XT: about 400 W — the card draws 107 W, a CPU such as the Intel Core i3-12100F about 60 W, and doubling the total leaves headroom for transient spikes. Pick a unit from a reputable tier of the Cultists Network PSU Tier List.
